Or is this just a Crossfire characteristic?
This is why there are warning labels on electric hair dryers (WARNING DO NOT USE IN THE SHOWER WITH THE WATER RUNNING) IDIOTS are a dime a dozen. Someone should post on the audi board so whichever poor slob winds up with your car will know why it runs like sh*t. Likewise you'd be the first one to call an ambulance chaser to SUE AUDI when the damn thing finally does let go. Just in case you haven't done the math, you have saved maybe $1,000.00 in all that time. (25 mpg @ .20 diff per gallon) Out of warranty the new engine will cost approx $5,000.00. GEE THAT MAKES SENSE!!! Just because it hasn't happened yet doesn't mean it won't!!!
